I understand what you're saying. However, its obvious in some of these
codes what the intent was. The *63 is a very good example. That code
has absolutely nothing to do with spa3k options, and since the code
just happens to match a common US telco standard, one can only guess
the intent truly was to send *63 to the telco for blocking callerid.
The *63 code does not appear to be sent to the telco, therefore one
has to question the implementation within the spa3k. If that one code
is questionable (as simple as it is), then other codes are even more
questionable.
